Kristel is best!

Kristel On Parim!

Avoid Dave is the brainchild of singer/songwriter/guitarist Taavi Paomets. After years of working with alt-rock band Aides and songwriting for and performing with some of the biggest pop acts in Estonia, one could say that Taavi definitely has an ear for mixing infectious grooves with catchy melodies that stay with you like the one from that new top40 song. After we learned that other than writing arguably some of the best tracks for many Estonian artists, he also has loads of solo material that has this unique sound and is nothing short of amazing in production quality - just collecting digital dust, we quickly agreed to put out his solo EP.

"Erasing Frames EP" is a soul-inspired journey into electronica with infectious grooves, backed by deep harmonies, infused with Dave's vocals. Even though we can't really draw any comparison to other Estonian artist because he doesn't sound like any other artist we know, there is still something very Estonian about his sound. At least, we think so. All five tracks are winners in our opinion and it's seriously hard to single out any of them - it will be up to you to choose your favorite..

Biography
KTCB comes from Killer Tissue Cover Band - a name that was meant as a joke when the band, formerly known as Killer Tissue, came back together after a two year hiatus. Everyone agreed that the band needed a new name and many names came under discussion, yet non of them had the same feeling as the fun founded self ironic Killer Tissue Cover Band, for the band started covering their own juvenilia. The four letter nickname, KTCB, got wedged between nostalgia and surprisingly ill tempered sense of humour slowly digging it's way towards the hearts of the group it symbolises. Officially the 6 member band, who are not always all present on stage, were baptised under the fireworks between 2011 and 2012 in Kuressaare, Estonia - the hometown for all of them.

Killer Tissue, the combination of words, struck Kristel Aaslaid as a lame joke when a pack of tissues landed on her face. When K (Kaupo Saar) threw the pack as an answer to Kristel's "Has anyone got a tissue?", he was unaware that his actions would create a band name they, formerly "We Killer Our Singer", needed. For years Kaupo Saar, Henri Põld and Lennart Pihl jammed and created music but were always a singer short. Kristel was a total game changer. The year then was something like 2008.

KTCB is:
Kristel Aaslaid, Kaupo Saar, Henri Põld, Lennart Pihl & Sander Nõmmistu
